History Repeating?

Alpha Kappa Lambda has enjoyed a rich, long history as a national fraternity in campuses all over the United States since 1914, when the original "Los Amigos" first founded the first (Alpha) chapter at Berkeley; fourteen young men willing to surpass all adversity - including the devastating San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 -  they came together to form one of the longest-lasting fraternities in the country. 

On a local level, the Gamma Theta Chapter has just recently enjoyed the joy of being chartered in March of 2003.  As the second most recent chapter in all of AKΛ, we have experienced a great deal of growth and progress, and our momentum is still going strong!

We are - and since 1914, have been - Men of Character.

  Alpha Kappa Lambda's National History: A Lasting, Powerful Story.

Nearly a century ago, a group of young men in California founded the Alpha Chapter of Alpha Kappa Lambda.  Social fraternities, especially non-secretive ones, came and went during that time, but they persisted.  Their motto?  Alethia Kai Logos  or, The Truth And The Word.  Based on the Five Ideals they established  themselves as the first and foremost fraternity in the entire West Coast, and through thick and thin, chapters started sprouting all over the map, each as successful as the next. Find Out How It All Started!

  How Long Has AKΛ Existed at BSU?

Back when the words "Gamma Theta Chapter at Boise State" were but a pleasurable fantasy, an interest group with a small but dedicated group of young men started it all from scratch.  In a campus dominated by non-traditional students and off-campus living, few could imagine a fraternity could thrive, let alone develop.  Interest group turned into Idaho Beta Colony; a few years later and a few more good men gave way to a larger membership, and an official chartering was daily coming closer to reality.  Finally, that day arrived in the Spring of 2003.  Learn More About Our Own Slice of the Past!
